Not much better on Android, I actually taught myself braille just trying out the braille keyboard last morth and have just switch to that for typing as it is faster and more reliable.

It’s interesting, that so many people seem to have problems with voice dictation. For me, it actually works great. In fact, I am using voice dictation right now.
I actually wish, voice dictation would work on a multi-lingual basis. my first language is German. So, I always have to switch keyboards, depending on which language I want to use for dictation.
Are you using the actual voice dictation, or do you use Siri? Because, in my experience, that makes a huge difference. Siri kind of sucks, when it comes to dictation.

Same here.

When I use it on distopea it adds a strange character at the end of each sentence or new word.

Yeah definitely. The attachment thing, lol. I actually posted here about that a while back. This used to happen in various iOS apps but now it only happens in Dystopia so obviously the app isn’t handling dictation input quite right

Hey I’ve been practicing Spanish and when I try to imitate Spanish speakers it works! Duolingo is blind accesible by the way and jaws has accents! I prefer the Steven Hawkins voice as my dad calls it because I like the idea of him talking to me

Short Answer: Software Patents. Until key patents expire, no one provider will have all the pieces of the puzzle to make good stuff.

In the sarcastic words of Austin Powers, yay capitalism. LOL
